Small cat face tattoo on a thigh
Fine line · Thigh · Black and grey · Photo
A small cat head is drawn in black linework on the upper thigh of one of two people standing side by side on wood chippings. The outline is simple with minimal shading and sits on bare skin beside a plaid shirt and a denim skirt. The night photograph has a film grain and warm tones, and no faces are visible.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction
The generator coughed twice and died, and in the sudden dark the whole field went quiet except for the cat, who had been sitting on the rim of the tombola drum since teatime and was not about to be moved by a power cut. Mrs Okafor's son had lost the torch again. I found it under the candyfloss van and handed it to Dot, who has run the bottle stall since before decimalisation and does not believe in anything she cannot count.

The cat was called Ninepence because someone once swore she had nine lives and someone else paid a penny for her. She belonged to nobody on the field, which meant she belonged to all of us, and she went from caravan step to caravan step taking a little warmth from each. Dot said she was a judge. Every summer she sat near the raffle and every summer she chose, with the slow patience of a magistrate, which of the folded tickets would win. Nobody had ever thought to write her choices down.
When the lights came back at half past nine, Ninepence was asleep on top of the prize drum. Dot lifted her off gently, pulled out the ticket she had been sitting on, and read it aloud: forty-one. Forty-one was the number chalked on the tin of pennies by the gate, the one with a little cat face scratched into its lid. Dot looked at me, I looked at the cat, and the cat, having made up her mind, stretched and walked off into the dark between the hoopla stalls without once looking back.
